Ellis Gallagher is sick of the NYPD arresting him for writing on the sidewalk with chalk so he’s suing the city for a million dollars reports the Brooklyn Paper. He’s been busted on three occasions and each time the charges were later dropped. The artist says the harassment was so bad, that he had to move from the police mean streets of Cobble Hill to the more public art friendly neighborhood of Williamsburg.

After recently teaming up with Jordan Seiler of Public Ad Campaign, in a series of work that promises to become bolder as the project develops, Poster Boy has expanded his collaboration further, forming alliances with Ellis Gallagher and Aakash Nihalani, to form a new collective, Neo-Con. Poster Boy noted that the latest work was “originally a collaboration between Poster Boy and Jordan…However, Aakash and Ellis couldn’t wait to get their filthy mitts on the blutiful wall.”
